The Fantastic Farmers Market

There are some things that taste better not because of the spices you use, the way you cook, or the recipe you use, but the where the ingredients come from. I've noticed that the farmer's market is the best way to go. Not only because of the taste, but because of the culture. I've met so many nice people and have bought delicious products at my local food market. It's amazing how much better your dish will taste just by using local ingredients instead of going to the grocery store. But analyze the products, not all farmers markets are local. Some just buy the products from somewhere else. Ask the farmers where their farm is, and you'll know if they don't know. Also, go to the people who specialize in only a couple items. If they have more items it usually means they are not focusing on the best taste. And don't forget to bring cash like I did! Farmers market's won't take cards.
Heres some of the ingredients I got. Including zebra striped tomatoes and purple peppers.
